Olympian Highway Vessel Tracking Thread**

My 340i on the olympian highway vessel and it hasn't updated location in 6 days. Should I be worried and what happens to the car after the ship is docked?

The Olympian Highway has been out at sea and is "Out-of-Range" for free tracking. If you have a subscription for satellite it will still track. It is due into Baltimore tonight, so some time today it should be back in range for free tracking.

Here is info about after the car get off the ship from the thread https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1315141

"Arrival and Processing at Port of Entry/US

Once your ship arrives with your car, specially trained drivers once again drive the cars off of the ship. They are then driven to a large parking lot for staging and processing through customs. If you have a car shipped via WWL you will be able to see status update on the tracking site using your VIN to see when your car clears customs.

After clearing customs, the car will be at a staging parking lot/area. At this point as far as BMW knows, the car still is "shipping" and you won't get any update until AFTER your car gets to the VPC. Priority 1 cars (customer sold, US delivery) are bumped to the front of the line and processed first. It will usually take 2-4 days to get through the VPC. If you did ED, this process can take longer. Your car may be at customs longer before it shows up at the VPC."

No, it's almost to Baltimore (my M340i is on it as well)... been tracking it via MarineTraffic's optional satellite service.

Here's a hint. Download MarineTraffic app from the App Store or use the site. Create a new account. Sign up for a 7 day free trial of advanced satellite tracking. Cancel your subscription. Track for 7 days. Rinse and repeat

My RORO vessel left Baltimore Sunday evening. It's first stop was at Sparrows Point, then it stopped at Dundalk. Not sure which port my car was unloaded at, however.

From looking at Google map - At Sparrow's Point there is a Volkswagen Group of America building at Dundalk there is a BMW pointer, on the other side of the river at Mercedes Port there is a Mercedes Benz VPC, a BMP pointer and a Fiat/Chry Corp pointer.
